USD/JPY at a Support Pivot; Bearish Anticipation

The US Dollar took a beating in December. I thought it was trying to break above that 114.50 resistance. Instead, USD/JPY failed to clear it and retreated immediately after price cracked this resistance. It was a false bullish breakout. This suggests a bearish period for $USDJPY.

Support at 112:- The daily chart shows the subsequent dip to 111. - USD/JPY found buyers and and rebounded, but failed to reach back to 114.50. Instead, it found resistance just above 113.50. - Since December, USD/JPY also established support at 112, and price is now falling towards this level.- I don't think we should rely on support to hold, especially after price failed to get back to 114.50. Bearish Scenario:- I wouldn't be surprised by a rebound to 113, but if the market is still bearish, there should be resistance there.- In the bearish scenario, I think price will test the 111 support, and if that breaks, USD/JPY will push to the 108-108.20 range support.
